The wind outside the Tang Dynasty is not loud, the temperature is just right, the sun is very warm, and the charm between heaven and earth is moderate, which makes people very comfortable.

Tang Qing held a folk bizarre tale in his hand and read it very interestingly, walking on the official road in the breeze, very satisfied.

According to his thoughts, after reading the book in his hand, it was just noon, and then he could stop and rest, eat a few mouthfuls of dry food, and then continue on his journey, and at about dusk, he could finish this narrow official road, and then he could ask people where he could read.

On both sides of the official road is a desolate loess stretching away, leading to the mottled mountains far away, and occasionally a patch of wild grass struggles to rise in the thick soil, bringing a little life to this deserted and lonely road.

Tang Qing walked quietly, the mood on his face was very light, and occasionally when he saw the rise, he couldn't help but sigh or smile.

There was a silver starlight hidden in his eyes, diffusing deep in his pupils, which was extraordinary.

The sun gradually rose, and there was slowly a layer of heat in the air, and the sunlight shone directly from the sky, falling between the fonts of the book, and Tang Qing, who was shaking, had some eye pain.

He couldn't help but raise his head, loosen his slightly sore eyes, and then suddenly stopped and glanced behind him.

The palace of the Tang Kingdom had long been hidden on the other side of the official road, and Tang Qing naturally couldn't see anything, so he quickly turned around, and the emotion in his eyes was slightly low, leaving a little loss.

It was only half a day after leaving Tang Kingdom, and he was a little homesick.

It's a bad feeling, but it's something you have to bear.

Tang Qing put the book in his hand on his waist and put it away, sorted out his emotions, and sat down among the gravel on the side of the official road, ready to rest for a while.

At this moment, on the other side of the official road, a violent sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded.

Coming from afar, coming soon.

Like a tide.

Tang Qing was a little surprised, he quickly got up, looked at the end, and as far as he could see, it was a team of armored cavalry, roaring mightily, rolling up the loess and sand on the road, turning into a layer of dust and smoke behind him.

The cavalry soon came to Tang Qing's side, and the formation was very strong and majestic.

A layer of dust came to his face, Tang Qing squinted slightly, and couldn't help frowning.

He took a few steps back, patted the dust on his body, and prepared to go around to the side to make way for the cavalry.

The cavalry team suddenly stopped, and the hundred-man procession stood between the official roads, and the momentum was very loud.

Tang Qing's brows furrowed even deeper, and he simply stood silently in place, his eyes calm and striking, like a breeze drifting between the loess.

The leader rode a white horse, he was nearly middle-aged, his eyes were very gloomy, and his face was as cold as a glacier, he turned over and dismounted, came to Tang Qing, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then asked, "Tang Guo is here?"

It's very direct, almost rude.

Tang Qing frowned, didn't reply, just said calmly, "Please get out of the way." ”

His voice was not loud, not angry, even a little weak, but his tone was thick and serious.

No one thought he was joking.

The cavalry general narrowed his eyes, and he sneered: "It seems that the rumors are all false, the son of Emperor Tang is not a sick seedling, but quite kind." ”

Tang Qing was a little unhappy and a little surprised, he said, "It turns out that you know who I am. ”

"The news that the prince of the Tang Kingdom has already spread all over the city, and everyone wants to invite you back to the city to worship Bajie, but in my opinion, there is no need for this at all. ”

The cavalry general continued: "The lone prince in distress, I'm afraid that Emperor Tang has already died as your son, take you back, where can you climb the high branch of Emperor Tang?"

There was a burst of laughter in the ranks of the cavalry, and the sound of horses' hooves shook and stirred in place, as if they would disappear at any moment.

Tang Qing's face gradually sank, and he did not respond.

The general sneered even more, and said, "But the city lord ordered that this general must bring you back, what's the matter, come with me." ”

Tang Qing stared at the generals in front of him for a long, long time, and finally spoke: "Tang Guo has seventeen cities, and you are the fastest to come, so it should be the closest from here." I'm guessing you're the soldiers of Nightcloud City. ”

The general smiled slightly, and said coldly: "So what?"

Tang Qing shook his head, he didn't speak anymore, just took a step to the side of the road.

This step is not far, not close, but it just moves a position.

The next moment, under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, there was suddenly an extra person in that position.

The man was dressed in the robes of the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty, wearing a high hat, and his face was square and imposing.

is clearly a eunuch, but he is domineering, and the aura on his body is majestic and heavy, like a god of war.

There was no emotion on his face, only coldness, his eyes turned from the more than 100 cavalrymen in front of him to the general, and the chill in the depths of his pupils gradually rose, and soon condensed into a killing intent.

The laughter in the cavalry team stopped instantly, the sound of horses' hooves seemed to freeze, and even the general's eyes widened, and cold sweat flowed backwards, as if there was a catastrophe.

He recognized the man in front of him.

Many years ago, the Tang Emperor founded the Tang Kingdom and sealed the Seventeen Cities.

That year, behind Emperor Tang, only three people followed.

One is the queen of the phoenix.

One was the high priest.

There is another person, who is the one in front of him.

He is a close minister of the Tang Emperor, the first governor of the Tang Kingdom, and it is said that the Tang Master Alliance can rank in the top five Gao Zhiye.

Mr. Gao accompanied Emperor Tang all the year round, and almost never left the imperial car.

Who would have thought that when the prince entered the WTO, Emperor Tang would send him out to secretly escort him.

The wind gradually sank, and a killing intent wafted in.

Gao Zhiye stood coldly in place, turned his back to Tang Qing and said, "Your Highness, please close your eyes." ”

Tang Qing sighed, quickly closed his eyes and turned around, putting his hand on the book on his waist, feeling stunned.

The cavalry general was already ready to break his heart, and when he heard Gao Zhiye's words, he knelt on the ground suddenly, and said with a pale face: "Chief Gao spares his life! His Royal Highness the prince spares his life!" The villain just came to take His Royal Highness back to Yeyun City to recuperate for a period of time at the order of the city lord, without the slightest offense, a little disrespectful, it should be a joke between the villain and His Royal Highness, but don't take it seriously!"

More than a hundred cavalrymen behind him dismounted at the same time, and no one dared to speak, but they also knelt down together, like a pilgrimage.

Gao Zhiye has lived in the deep palace of the Tang Kingdom for a long time in recent years, and has hardly appeared in the outside world.

But his fierce reputation and ruthlessness had already spread throughout the seventeen cities of the Tang Kingdom many years ago, and it was deeply rooted.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he once carried a seven-foot mad knife, and killed in all directions of the mainland for seven days and seven nights, and the enemies who died in his hands were countless.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Gao Zhiye lived in seclusion in the deep palace of the Tang Kingdom, in addition to protecting the Tang Emperor, he was in charge of the criminal law.

The officials of the Tang Kingdom, no matter what their power is or how much they are worth, when they see him, they must respectfully shout Gao Da, and they dare not make a little mistake.

There are even folk rumors that mentioning the name Gao Zhiye can stop children from crying, which is really as fierce as a tiger.

The first eunuch of the Tang Dynasty, his prestige can be seen.

Now on the official road, Gao Zhiye looked condescendingly at the group of people who knelt on the ground, and said the second sentence after appearing: "Missed today, there are only sixteen cities under the rule of Tang State, and Yeyun City has been removed from now on." ”

The meaning of this sentence is simple and very clear.

The cavalry general felt a chill in his heart, and just wanted to raise his head, but found that he could no longer move.

Because Takanoha glanced at him.

The leaves fall back to the roots, like a shadow.

The cavalry generals wanted to dodge, but they couldn't avoid the pursuit of their eyes.

Everyone in the world knows that Gao Zhiye likes to use knives, but they don't know where his knife is hidden, maybe the people who have seen that knife are already dead, just like the cavalry general at this moment.

A line of blood burst from his head and neck, followed by hundreds more from the cavalry behind him, poignant and sinful.

Just one glance, condense the killing intent, and merge into a sword qi, and it will become a Shura field.

Tang Qing turned around, opened his eyes, let go of his right hand that covered the book, and when he saw this bloody scene, he couldn't help but say, "You don't have to be like this. ”

Gao Zhiye shook his head and said in a condensed voice: "Your Highness is kind, you are obviously angry but you can't bear to kill, this kind of thing can be done by leaving it to the slaves." ”

Tang Qing sighed, "Are you really going to destroy Night Cloud City?"

Gao Zhiye nodded, and didn't say anything more.

Tang Qing continued to ask, "How did Mr. Gao know that I was going to be in trouble? Don't tell me it's a coincidence. ”

"With the High Priest here, he naturally knows everything. ”

Gao Zhiye suddenly raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and then said: "The high priest has instructed that the servants escort His Highness out of the realm of the Tang Kingdom, and when he arrives at the land where the mainland is scattered, His Highness really needs to rely on himself." ”

"Sooner or later. ”

Tang Qing said with a smile: "The teacher has no last resort, and he really takes care of me in all aspects." ”

Gao Zhiye was noncommittal, he thought about it, and quickly added: "Your Majesty said, if someone bullies His Highness, no matter how many miles away, even if it is the ends of the world, Daoshan and Hell, it will definitely crush that person's bones and ashes, and there will be no reincarnation." ”

Hearing this, Tang Qing's heart moved slightly.

Then I remembered my father, whom I hadn't seen since I was four years old, and I was a little sad. The tall figure in the dark black dragon robe had long been blurred in Tang Qing's memory, but the father-son relationship that blood was thicker than water had always been there and never left. He nodded with a wry smile and said, "Let's go." ”

Gao Zhiye led the frightened white horse, respectfully asked Tang Qing to sit on it, and then led the horse rope to lead the way in front, all the way to the end of the official road.

The remaining 100 or so horses quickly dispersed and galloped along the loess plains on both sides of the official road towards the mountains farther away.

Having lost their owners, they may soon become a herd of wild horses.

Free, and can live.

And the scattered skulls were messy in the wind, and the flatness and smoothness of the incisions seemed to be a great irony of their bygone days.

The wind is blowing, but the sun is still shining. Reflected on the backs of a master and a servant, as the sky gradually faded away.
